Well, Everyone this is my first swing at writing a blog. It may hit or miss, but I'd thought I'd start out with a list of firsts - a reflection on 2006. This is a list of things I experienced for the first time this year as a Stager in Porter County, Indiana.
1. A realtor that didn't hesitate to get on board with Staging (Thanks, Debbie)
2. A realtor to proclaim me "Her" Stager (Thanks, Linda)
3. A house that didn't really need to be staged (It's true)
4. My first feature article in the newspaper (it didn't bring any leads, but I did get a lot of calls from people seeking employment)
5. A potential client asking me to act as her "assistant" while SHE staged the house (she wasn't kidding and - to her amazement - neither was I when I declined)
5. My first relocation property (Thanks again, Linda)
6. A homeowner that would only list with a Realtor that offered my staging services(Gotta love the Cramers)
7. A staging job that didn't make me say "EWWWW!", even once ( can you believe that?)
8. Building my own website (a big deal, since my 11 year old can totally whip me when it comes to Microsoft Word)
9. And a real estate networking site that invites stagers in as if they are real, bonafide professionals (Thanks, Activerain!) and they said it would never happen...
Well, there it is, my meager list of firsts. Got any you'd like to share?
Oh, yeah, did I mention this is my first blog?
